Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Hosts Caitlin Johnson and Sophia Pavia speak with Stone Jamison on the fertility benefits of reverse dieting. 
Stone Jameson is a registered dietitian with four years of experience in nutrition care. She spent two years working in inpatient eating disorder treatment and now works in outpatient nutrition focusing on general health, wellness, and weight management. She primarily works with people who want to heal their relationship with food or reach a weight that supports their overall health. 
She is passionate about helping people step out of the diet cycle and make sustainable, health-promoting changes that actually last.  
This episode is one you will want to listen to and then go back and listen to it again! There is a wealth of knowledge in the episode about healthy eating, why working with a registered dietitian is so important and how the standard model of care isn't always the best.

Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Host Sophia Pavia speaks with Dr. Valenson with Fibroid Institute Houston. 
Dr. Valenson is a specialist in vascular and interventional procedures, focusing on providing personalized, outpatient care for uterine fibroids.
Fibroids are very common. As many as 3 out of 4 women will develop fibroids during their lifetimes. Most are unaware they have fibroids. Sometimes, doctors will accidentally discover fibroids during a routine pelvic or pregnancy exam, and then refer their patients to a specialist to have the fibroids treated.
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus, or womb. Fibroids develop from the smooth muscular tissue of the womb. They may grow slowly or quickly, or they may simply stay the same size. However, if they get too large, they may start causing the painful and life-altering symptoms listed above.
In this epiosde Sophia and Dr. Valenson discuss what women can go to treat their fibroids especially if the fibroid is hindering them from getting pregnant.

Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Host Caitlin Johnson speaks with Patience Axmann and shares a very special song dedicated to her and all TTC warriors!
Patience is a singer, songwriter, wife and mother, entrepreneur and currently lives in Wichita Kansas.
Since she knew how to talk she has been telling stories. Through words, photography, film, and most recently through music. She writes songs to give space to feelings too deep for words. Seasons of struggles, awe in the ordinary. Often as a way to tell her own story, often as a way to encourage others as they face their own battles.
She spends her time writing, recording, producing, serving in worship ministry at her local church, documenting families and love stories through photography, and raising my three beautiful children.
This episode is a GEM! Not only do you get to hear the inspiration behind such an incredible song, but you get to hear the passion, drive and faith of Patience. It is one you will want to listen to, share and have in your back pocket for when TTC gets tough. 
You can follow patcience on Spotify to check out her work, head to her website for more infomration on the many projects she is currently working on or click here to listen to this amazing song on REPEAT!
